Washington, August 5. That dear ly loved institution, "the leave to print," under which Congressmen an nually send, postage free, to their con sequents tons of imaginary speeches they never made liberally sprinkled with mythical "laughter" and psy. chological "applause" is to be cur tailed if a bill considorsit fo-UI.. today by both houses, passes. a pi-partisan report from the joint printing committee urma tv,OD ti m favor of the bill: A million volumes a venr printed on fine paper and bound in leather, have to he nM . - vo naoio paper because no one takes the trou ble to frank them out. Janitors and building superintend ents complain that whole basements are literally filled with virtual waste paper, so that the government has to rent additional SDace to stm-o -noi ,i wood. Private manufacturing firms, act- ing in collusion with members, have had printed and frank ed at public expense "puffs" virtual ads though described as "expositions" of their plants, factories and indus tries. The present rules of both houses are: A member or senntni- mm, u.,'., the printing of anything as a "pub lic document." Sixteen hundred are automatically struck off; thereafter the senator or the man he is aiding may nave tne government printing office strike off as many more as wisnea ac cost. The senator's frank will send any number. On a "leave to orint" in the V. ord, campaign text books, works on various religions, medical theories etc., are inserted as narts nf snnaz-h. es, technically. I hen they, or anv excernts nf th.. are frankable. It took an iini'minl storm in the senate to prevent Sen ator Penrose from having thus print ed tne cetniehem Steel company's anti-government armdr ulate propaganda. A member mav sav "Mr. Pi p:bl, r.t . .., i asK leave to extend mv remarks in the Record," and then write at any length on anything. The new bill nrovidns fnr pnttmn- down of departmental documents, ail of which are by law required tc be printed now, and provides that Sen ate and House committees must ex amine evei document which it in nrn. ptsed to yrint. To prevent possible suppression of reports which the spi,. ate may w.sh printed it is mvwirie.i the house mry overrule committee ae on or inact on. This bill has passed the hniiFn nt previous sessions and the senate in previous sessions, but if both horlioa ever passed it, in the same session, it was invariably found the two mono. tares differed slightly, and a compro mise never has been reached. The annual waste is- estimated at $1,000,000 for printing; that for franking cost to the postal depart ment cannot be measured, but it is said to be much more than that. at the Hall ranch and is in very foe- m over Sunday returning home Mon ble health.
